Kamala Agrees to Debate Trump on ABC – But Not Fox.

Vice President Kamala Harris announced on Thursday that she will stand in for President Joe Biden in the upcoming ABC presidential debate on September 10 against former President Donald J. Trump. “So many of you have been asking me about the debate and I’ll tell you, I’m ready to debate Donald Trump. I have agreed to the previously agreed upon September 10 debate,” she said at Joint Base Andrews. However, she did not respond and walked away when asked about a proposed debate on Fox News set for September 17 in Pennsylvania.

Trump had earlier challenged Harris to a debate on Fox News, criticizing ABC and calling for the debate to be moved to Fox. “My debate with Crooked Joe Biden, the Worst President in the history of the United States, was slated to be broadcast on Fake News ABC, the home of George Slopadopolus, sometime in September. Now that Joe has, not surprisingly, quit the race, I think the Debate, with whomever the Radical Left Democrats choose, should be held on Fox News, rather than very biased ABC,” Trump wrote.

While not yet officially the Democratic nominee, Harris has secured the endorsements of many top Democrats and the Association of State Democratic Committees (ASDC), making the Democratic National Convention likely only a formality.

Since becoming the assumed nominee, mainstream media have been scrubbing negative stories about Harris, including a story that listed her as the most liberal member of the United States Senate in 2019.

A debate could prove to be a decisive moment in the campaign. Some early polling suggests Trump and Harris may be tied among voters.

‘You Own This’ – Former Border Patrol Leader Blames Harris for Border Crisis.

Former Border Patrol leader Chris Clem has sharply criticized Vice President Kamala Harris over her handling of illegal immigration. Clem, who served for over 27 years with Border Patrol, said this week that Harris must take ownership of the crisis, stating, “You own this. You can’t say, ‘It’s not my responsibility.'”

“The numbers don’t lie,” Clem said, describing the current situation as “disastrous.”

Harris, appointed by Joe Biden to address the “root causes” of illegal immigration, is trying to disown the “border czar” title attributed to her by politicians and media alike. She hardly visited the U.S. southern frontier and refused invitations to visit from border states such as Arizona in 2021.

Chris Clem is not the only border official to criticize Harris since she became the presumptive Democratic Party nominee. Brandon Judd, President of the National Border Patrol Council, stated this week that Harris was made aware of the policies needed to end the border crisis but refused to implement any of them.

Speaking at a rally alongside former President Donald J. Trump, Judd said, “She does not care about you; she does not care about the safety of this country. [Trump] does.”

Raul Ortiz, another former Border Patrol leader, stated earlier this year that, during his tenure, Harris never met with him.

Kamala: More Cops on the Street Doesn’t Lead to More Safety.

Vice President Kamala Harris backed the “defund the police” movement in 2020, with the George Floyd unrest spreading and Joe Biden looking to select a running mate. She claimed it is “wrong” to say more police officers means more safety and that police budgets should be reexamined.

In a June 2020 interview with New York radio show Ebro in the Morning, Harris said, “defund the police, the issue behind it is that we need to reimagine how we are creating safety.”

“[W]hen you have many cities that have one-third of their entire city budget focused on policing, we know that is not the smart way and the best way or the right way to achieve safety,” she claimed. “For too long the status quo thinking has been you get more safety by putting more cops on the street. Well, that’s wrong,” she insisted.

“[T]his whole movement is about rightly saying, we need to take a look at these budgets and figure out whether it reflects the right priorities,” she said, arguing that “militarizing police departments” is “not working.”

“It has to be about forcing change… I was out there with folks; any movement, any progress we have made has been because people took to the streets. And that’s what we’re seeing today, and it gives me a sense of hope,” she added.

Harris’s team is stressing her background as a California prosecutor to make her more palatable to moderate voters. However, former President Donald J. Trump has pointed out she was not a law-and-order prosecutor but “the original Marxist district attorney.”

Trump Campaign Earns $4 Million in Crypto Donations.

Donald Trump’s campaign has amassed over $4 million in cryptocurrency donations in the second quarter of 2024. Contributions came in various digital currencies, including Bitcoin, Ether, and USD Coin.

A breakdown of the cryptocurrency donations reveals that 19 donors provided $2.15 million in Bitcoin alone. The donors’ occupations ranged from military officers to homemakers, security technicians, missionaries, and painters.

Notably, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who sued Mark Zuckerberg for allegedly stealing the idea for Facebook from them, each donated 15.57 Bitcoin, amounting to slightly over $1 million at the time. The campaign refunded portions of these donations because they exceeded the $844,600 legal limit. Mike Belshe, CEO of BitGo, also contributed $50,000 in Bitcoin.

This fundraising milestone coincides with Trump’s scheduled keynote address at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville on Saturday, where a campaign fundraiser will also take place. High-tier seats at the event, including a roundtable with Trump, are set at the maximum individual contribution limit.

Brian Hughes, a Trump campaign aide, emphasized Trump’s support for innovation in the cryptocurrency sector while criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democrats for stifling innovation. Hughes contrasted Trump’s deregulation efforts during his presidency with the overregulation under the Biden-Harris regime.

In May, Trump announced that his campaign would begin accepting cryptocurrency donations, marking him as the first major candidate to do so. The move underscored Trump’s commitment to financial innovation and reducing governmental control over financial decisions.

Team Kamala Comes Out Against Child Tax Credits.

Media allies of presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee Kamala Harris are attacking the Republican vice presidential nominee, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), over his support for the Child Tax Credit. In allegedly previously unheard remarks—in reality, they were spoken during a 2021 episode of the Charlie Kirk Show to a significant audience—Vance states his clear support for reducing the tax burden on families.

“Let’s tax the things that are bad and not tax the things that are good,” Vance says in the interview with Kirk. He elaborates that families with children “should pay a different, lower tax rate.” The policy that Vance describes is, in fact, the Child Tax Credit.

However, ABC News—which claims to have “unearthed” the publicly available clip—appears to have wholly adopted the talking points provided by Kamala Harris‘s presidential campaign, falsely stating that Vance wants to raise taxes on families without children. This raises the question, why does Harris’s own spin suggest she now opposes the popular Child Tax Credit?

Harris—who has no children of her own but two step-children from her marriage to Douglas Emhoff—has included changes to the Child Tax Credit in policy and legislative proposals while serving as Vice President and a U.S. Senator for California. Yet, out of political expediency, the Harris campaign—through its media proxies—appears to have reversed course on the credit in attacking Vance.

The Child Tax Credit was temporarily expanded as part of former President Donald J. Trump‘s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) and further expanded under the 2021 American Rescue Plan. Despite support from a bipartisan group of lawmakers—including Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)—attempts to make the credits’ expansion permanent before they expire in 2025 were derailed by Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV), a former Democrat, and a lack of initiative by the Biden-Harris government.

Obamas Finally Endorse Kamala.

Barack and Michelle Obama have finally endorsed Kamala Harris to succeed Joe Biden. The Vice President posted what is supposed to be a spontaneous call – which just happened to be filmed professionally – with the Democratic power couple on social media. As recently as Wednesday, Biden family sources said former President Obama was avoiding endorsing Harris because he believed she would lose to Donald Trump.

“Obama knows she’s just incompetent—the border czar who never visited the border, saying that all migrants should have health insurance. She cannot navigate the landmines that are ahead of her,” the source said.

In a new video showcasing the late endorsement, Harris powerwalks around while taking a call, with Obama shouting “Kamala!” on speakerphone.

“Hello? Hi!” the Vice President responds, feigning surprise.

“Hey there!” cuts in Mrs. Obama.

“Aw, hi, you’re both together! Oh, it’s good to hear you both,” Harris replies.

The former president and first lady tell Harris, who turns 60 in October, they are “proud” of her. Mrs. Obama—often touted as a Democratic presidential candidate herself—calls Harris “my girl” and says, “This is going to be historic.”

Previously, reports indicated former President Obama did not want to endorse a replacement for Biden, preferring to present himself as an “impartial elder statesman.”

As mentioned above, Biden family sources said Biden was “furious,” “shocked,” and “very upset” to see Harris rapidly fall into place as the presumptive Democratic nominee following Biden’s ouster. He reportedly wanted Arizona Senator Mark Kelly “at the top of the ticket.”

Relations between Biden and his former boss—who did not endorse his own 2020 primary run—are strained, with Biden believing Obama helped orchestrate the coup against him.

House Votes Unanimously for Task Force to Investigate Trump’s Attempted Assassination.

The House of Representatives voted unanimously on Wednesday to establish a bipartisan task force to investigate the attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump. The committee will be empowered to review the actions taken by federal, state, and local agencies, officers, and other entities involved in the attempt on Trump’s life.

Introduced by Representative Mike Kelly (R-PA), H.R. 1367 passed with all 416 present Members of the House voting in favor. Among the task force’s duties will be scrutinizing United States Secret Service (USSS) security lapses that allowed would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks to fire a reported eight rounds at former President Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024. Two Trump supporters were wounded in the shooting, while rallygoer Corey Comperatore was killed while shielding his family from the gunfire.

SECRET SERVICE CHIEF RESIGNS.

The resolution was prompted by the resignation of USSS Director Kimberly Cheatle following a disastrous hearing where Cheatle was called “full of shit” by Republican representative Nancy Mace after the now-former USSS director refused to answer simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions. Another lawmaker, Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX), stated he re-created the shooting and was able to land 15 of 16 shots he fired, saying it was a miracle Trump managed to survive the attempt on his life.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Chris Wray, meanwhile, stated that Crooks had targeted Trump specifically and had researched Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated President John F. Kennedy in 1963. Wray also noted that Crooks had used a drone at the rally site and may have attempted to livestream his footage prior to the shooting.

BIPARTISAN TASK FORCE.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) jointly announced the task force’s composition, which includes seven Republicans and six Democrats.

“The task force will be empowered with subpoena authority and will move quickly to find the facts, ensure accountability, and make certain such failures never happen again,” Johnson said on X.

The task force is charged with delivering a comprehensive report to the House by December 13, 2024.

Ted Cruz Warns Biden-Harris Supreme Court Reform Plan Aims to Destroy It.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) expressed concern this week regarding Joe Biden’s intentions to radically transform the U.S. Supreme Court, accusing the 81-year-old Democrat of launching an effort to undermine the institution. The Texas Republican said that by “reform,” Biden means he wants to “destroy” the court in comments made during the latest episode of his “Verdict” podcast.

Discussing Biden‘s Oval Office address Wednesday evening, Cruz told his co-host, Ben Ferguson, “[U]nderstand by the word reform, he means destroy the Supreme Court. What he wants to do is utterly politicize it.” During the national address on July 24, Biden emphasized he intends to spend the final six months he has in office focused on ramping up efforts to fundamentally alter the nature of the high court—including proposals to enact term limits and pack the court with liberal judges.

Cruz referenced former President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s attempt to pack the court with supportive judges. Even though Roosevelt, a Democrat, had large majorities in both Congressional chambers, Democrats in Congress at the time opposed the idea. According to the Texas Senator, lawmakers at that time understood the importance of maintaining an independent court committed to the Constitution and the rule of law.

The Republican Senator, who faces a re-election challenge from Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX), said he worries no Democrats are willing to oppose radical changes today. Consequently, he argues that if Kamala Harris becomes President and Democrats gain a narrow margin in the Senate, they would end the filibuster, allowing them to change the composition of the Supreme Court with 50 votes.

Earlier this month, Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez threatened to impeach members of the Supreme Court following a string of rulings against the Biden-Harris government and in favor of former President Donald J. Trump and January 6 defendants.

WATCH: Kassam Issues Barnstorming Warning Over Complacency, Kamala, and the 2024 Steal.

The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief, Raheem Kassam, warned members of the New York Young Republican Club that the American political right cannot be complacent in facing off against Kamala Harris in November’s presidential election. Speaking to the group on the evening of July 23, Kassam noted that the globalist politicians in France and the United Kingdom headed off surging populist political movements by calling snap elections.

Meanwhile, in Harris‘s case, Kassam argued she is a “snap candidate,” replacing Joe Biden after the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent dropped out of the 2024 presidential contest on July 21.

“There are one hundred and four days left until November 5. And it is your election day, or should I call it, your snap election day,” The National Pulse Editor-in-Chief told the crowd. Kassam continued: “Except, perhaps, instead of like in the UK and in France, it is not a snap date, but it is a snap candidate that we’re facing now.”

DO NOT HEED THE COMPLACENTS.

Likening the current situation to the warnings he and Stephen K. Bannon issued about ballot drop boxes and the “Weekend at Bernie’s” strategy with Biden in the 2020 presidential contest, Kassam contented: “Everything we warned about has come to pass. And the red wave complacents… who should have been eating crow after that moment, instead turned Donald Trump and turned on the MAGA movement.”

“My warning today is to refuse to heed the complacents,” Kassam said, warning: “We all feel quite good about this cackling moron that the Democrats are going to end up with. But you have to understand, the only reason they feel assured about putting a cackling moron in place is the same reason they felt assured with putting a cadaver in place in 2020.”

“Because they don’t intend to play by the book,” he added before concluding: “So we can be two points up in the polls. We can be five points up in the polls. We can be ten points up in the polls. Do not heed the complacents.”

U.S. House Condemns Kamala’s Handling of Border Crisis In Bipartisan Vote.

The U.S. House of Representatives, in a bipartisan vote, adopted a resolution condemning Kamala Harris‘s handling of the border crisis as Joe Biden‘s border czar. A total of six Democrats—all in vulnerable seats—joined their Republican colleagues in supporting the resolution, sponsored by Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY).

“Whereas, on March 24, 2021, President Biden asked Vice President Kamala Harris to serve as the administration’s border czar in charge of: working to address the ‘root causes’ of illegal immigration into the United States,” the resolution reads, continuing: “President Biden’s and Border Czar Harris’s far left Democrat open border policies are to blame for this historic crisis, and in August 2022, Biden and his administration decided to make the border crisis significantly worse by formally ending former President Trump’s successful Remain in Mexico program.”

Rep. Stefanik‘s resolution concludes that the House “…strongly condemns the Biden Administration and its Border Czar, Kamala Harris’s, failure to secure the United States border” while adding that the legislative body “…clearly and firmly states that the continuation of the Biden, Harris border policies would be disastrous for both the United States and the American people.”

While the House’s condemnation falls short of an actual resolution of censure, the move further ties Harris to the Biden government’s disastrous border policies.

The wave of violence and crime tied to the border crisis has become a top concern for voters heading into the 2024 presidential election in November. Harris’s presidential campaign and its corporate media allies have attempted to distance her from the ‘border czar’ title, going so far as to falsely claim she was never in charge of the border.

This comes amid other efforts by the Democrats and their media allies to cover up Harris’s radical record throughout her political career.
